After several massacres, less than one in ten of the great shamans survived.
Seeing that he was certain he wouldn't survive, the great shaman roared, gathering all his remaining blood energy in a desperate act: "You want to kill me? You won't get away unscathed either—come on, let's die together! My death doesn't matter, dragging you down with me will be a bonus—"
Sirius sensed his intention and flew into a rage: "Summoning bloodline power? Who do you think you're summoning?"
The Wu tribe all inherit their lineage through blood. Summoning the power of their bloodline is their last resort when they are truly outmatched by their enemies. In short, it's "beating the young to bring in the old," which is the most shameless thing imaginable.
The shaman laughed loudly and did not reply, focusing only on burning his own power. Tianlang immediately spread his arms to protect Tongsu and flew away into the distance, but before he had flown far, Tongsu realized that this was not realistic at all.
He flew in the sky, but the earth retreated backward. To give an analogy, they were like running on a shopping mall escalator going in the opposite direction. Their positions remained the same. The faster he flew, the faster the earth retreated, without moving away at all.
Sirius also noticed something was wrong and stopped. Time and space trembled and shook, and the deathly silent air twisted and folded into intricate curves.
The illusions were endless, like collapsing mountains, like a sea of time and space, and even like the screams of countless people. The great shaman's eyes were filled with horror. He turned to run away, but his body gradually turned into dust in the wind and vanished into nothingness.
—Where everything turns to ashes.
A rounded figure slowly emerged.
Tong Su trembled all over, as a force a hundred times stronger than Ju Mang pressed down on her like a mountain.
Even though Sirius wanted to protect her, he was still suppressed by the power and unable to move, his eyes bloodshot.
If the two hadn't gritted their teeth and straightened their spines at all costs, they probably would have collapsed to their knees the next moment!
"Who...is that!?"
She looked up at the strange-looking figure that had appeared, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw it clearly.
Suddenly, the knowledge they had learned in Langhuan and the words of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's stern warning to them echoed in their minds:
"The Tianshan Mountains are rich in gold and jade, and contain blue orpiment. The Ying River originates there and flows southwest into the Tang Valley. There dwells a god there, whose form is like a yellow sack, red as cinnabar fire, with six feet and four wings, a chaotic mass without a face. It is truly the Emperor Jiang, skilled in singing and dancing, moving in a turbulent manner, leaving behind withered vegetation wherever it passes."
On the western Tianshan Mountains lived the leader of the Wu tribe:
He is a divine bird, shaped like a yellow cloth bag, red like a ball of fire, with six legs and four wings. He has no eyes, ears, nose, or mouth, but he is skilled in singing and dancing. His name is 'Dijiang'.
He wields the power of time and space, and wherever he goes, all things fall silent.
Tianlang shoved Tongsu away abruptly: "You go, I'll cover your retreat!"
Golden Crow Fire rose from his palm and surged toward Dijiang, but Dijiang smiled elegantly. The Golden Crow Fire seemed to be swallowed by time, and disappeared before it could even reach him.
"Leave? You can't leave," he said, his voice melodious and pleasant, though his mouth was silent. His unrecognizable, primordial body moved slowly. "This world has been imprisoned by me. You can't leave."
Tong Su felt that her limbs were controlled by invisible air shackles, and even her mouth was tightly blocked, so she could not utter a sound. She could only look at Tianlang with anxious eyes.
Walk!
You're the one who should be leaving!
Sirius launched a frenzied attack on Dijiang, but Dijiang, who possessed the power of time and space, used time to devour all of Sirius's attack energy and then suddenly opened a portal to time and space right behind him.
The devoured power rushed forward without awareness, and instead struck the unsuspecting Sirius, causing him to stumble!
